Kia Ora my maiden name is Linda Kay Marriner, I am a direct descendant of Irihapeti Stanaway. I am very interested in any information regarding this fine lady as there seems to be quite a bit of confusion on her daughter Kuwhara’s father who according to the Whakapapa is Irihapetis brother & 1st cousin. Though I understand those things can happen I certainly would like to see the evidence as I know also mistakes can be made by the flick of a pen. Whakapapa to many is of great importance as it is of course passed down from generation to generation. I am grateful for any information. Thank You.

Hiya, I am wondering please if anyone has any idea of the Ngati Porou Hapu, or better still Marae that Ngaere’s mothers family was from please? I am also descended from Wetaparene and John Stanaways line, and it seems to be through Ngaere. My grandmother June was a Marriner, but she died giving birth to my Mother. It is my understanding that her parents may have been Charles and Isobel (Peters) Marriner, but my information is a bit sketchy at this point. I am trying to find this out because a major piece of my family history is lost, but also due to a university Maori Planning paper for university, based on my pepeha. If someone knows anything please can they email me on littlepaua@gmail.com?
